brick-a-brac Posted August 20, 2006 Report Share Posted August 20, 2006 2-3 hours for a local meet; more for a bigger (i.e. national) meet. For instance, I am looking at about five hours each way for the VCOA nationals at Lake Placid; but this will be the first national I have attended, and it's a two + day gig, so I'm looking at it as a mini vacation.

crc1185 Posted August 20, 2006 Report Share Posted August 20, 2006 My limit is about a two hour drive for just a little one day get-together. If it were a more well-planned meet with a bunch of stuff to do (multiple days), I might consider driving 6-8, even 10 hours. What will get me to go a long distance for a meet is good planning. If there are gonna be a lot of cars there, fun stuff to do, good food, or some other cool factor, then I will drive further. I will not drive 6 hours to sit in the parking lot at a Volvo dealer for 3 hours. An amusement park, a beach, a city with stuff to do, etc. all make the drive more practical. Obviously girls (especially a visit to Hooters) can't hurt. That's what makes me drive further to a meet... I've been to some boring, crappy meets and I want to know that I'm not gonna drive 6 hours and end up at one of those. A caravan with some other local guys always makes a long drive more bearable too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lax01 Posted August 20, 2006 Report Share Posted August 20, 2006 well I just drove through St. Louis and Kansas City (where VCOA meet was and where they wanted VSes meet to be last year) today...it wasn't that bad...but I don't know if I would do it for a meet...unless there was a plan of exciting stuff (car and non-car) to do everyday...I don't want to hear, "we'll just figure it out when we'll get there" that doesn't work Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BtownVolvo Posted August 20, 2006 Report Share Posted August 20, 2006 What was the final tally for Pat? I'd drive pretty much anywhere if it was a good meet. AKA: i'll probably drive over to the SE meet next year, if i'm not the only P1 car :unsure: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
